I liked your story and admire your courage to share such intimate details of your life. Being authentic is a wonderful character trait, and as hard as you seem to appear in your writing, it appears you were as hurt in the relationship as your lover.

If I may, I invite you to read the first chapter of my Vietnam memoir for free at vietnamjerry.com and while there, scroll down to MEDIA and listen to the NPR broadcast of the ghost story of Cpl. Cummings. All true events. Regards, Jerry
